Replacing Brake Pads on 96 F150

jimberg · 08-26-2002, 02:13 PM

My brother is stuck in Phoenix with bad brake pads. I just need to verify the procedure for replacing the front pads. I take it that it's pretty much the same as it is for an Explorer? Remove one bolt, lift the caliper, remove old pads, squeeze in piston, install new pads, lower caliper and replace bolt?

Please let me know if I'm dreaming. Thanks.

Nope. No bolts. Pins. He's gonna need a pair of needle nose pliers and a medium sized punch, and tell him to remove the pins going from the outside, inward.

Take care,
~Chris

Pins? Shoot. Do you have a picture?
